Far-Reaching Principle
Laid Down by Supreme
Court.
OPINION GIVEN
IN PATTEN CASE
Indictment Held Valid, and
: Lower Court Will Put It to
Trial?Decision Expected to
Strengthen Hands of Gov?
ernment in Fight Against
Other Combinations.
Washington. January fi ? The Su
| pr. Court ,.f the i'nited State? to?
day laid down the far-reaching prin?
ciple that ?corneru-' of interstate cora
j modifier, such as articles of clothing
and food, are in violation of the Sher
I man antitrust law. and held that, as
| far as the Sherman late wae concerned.
the indictment in the >jPw Vork Fed-,
' eral court of James A. Fatten. Eugene
O. Scales, Frank H Hayns and Wil?
liam p. Brown, for - conspiring to rua
an alleged cotton corner." was valid.
1 The case aga,nst them was sent back
for trial or oth?r proceedings. :
Chief Justice Dlnsents.
Justice Vandevanter announced the
opinion of the court. Justice Eurton
delivered a dissenting opinion, in which
Chief Justice White ana Justice Holmes
concurred. The majority of the court
held that the Circuit Court for South?
ern New York had decided that the
Indictment charged a "withholding'' of
the cotton from the market, a neces?
sary element of a "corner." as ad?
mitted by the government Th" minor?
ity held that the Circuit Court that
found the Indictment did not so charge,
and for that reason the indictment was
faulty. According to all the Justices,
the correctness of the hoMlner of th*
Circuit Court to the "withholding" and
the sufficiency of the indictment has
to be determined. The points thus left
undetermined to-day may be the basi?
for bringing the case to the Supreme
Court again if the defendants are con?
victed.
Solicitor Bullitt Issued a statement.
In which he said that at least a way
had been found hi stop the running up
of prices by men who sought to corner
the market, not only of cotton, but
wheat, corn and other commodities.
In his opinion Justice Vandevanter
dealt at lengtli with the defense that
the accused men were not engaged in
Interstate commerce.
?The first section of the act. upon
v. hkh the counts are founded. ' said
he. "is not . I to voluntary re?
straint, as to whether persons en?
gaged In Interstate trade or commerce
agree to suppress competition among
themselves, but Includes as well in?
voluntary restraints, as where persons
not so engaged conspire to compel ac?
tion by others or to create artificial
conditions which necessarily Impede
or burden the due course of such trade
or commerce or restrict the common
liberty to engage therein."
The Standard Oil case was quoted
in support of this doctrine. Govern?
ment officials claim th'.s language, will
materially strengthen their fight
against combinations violating the
law.
I hn arts \ntural Laws.
Justice Vandevanter replied to the
SI go Basal that running a "corner"
stimulates instead of restrains inter?
state trade, by saying that this might
fie true for a time, "but that the
"corner" was forhidded by the act be?
tau??- it thwarted the usual operation
cf laws of supply and demand, with?
drew the commodity from the normal
j current if trade, enhanced prices, and
produced practically the same evils
as the suppression of competition. He
said the statute did not apply to
"corners" of purely interstate trade,
nor where the < ffect upon the inter?
state ?as direct, and added that in
tl.e present case the trade was not in?
terstate, and the effect was not in
d tract
"It was a conspiracy to run a cor?
ner In the market." said he "The
commodifx to be cornered whs cotton,
ja product of the Southern States large.
' ly used and consumed in the Northern
j States. It was a subject of interstate
trade. The corner was to be conduct?
ed on the Cotton Ev hinge in N< w
' Vork ?'itv but bv means which wouki

TURKEY REFUSES
BALKAN DEMANDS
Insists on Retaining Adrian* >nle,
and Peace Conference Is
Suspended.

Expected to Compel Otto?
man to Yield.
London, .lanuarv ?.?The first stage
of the Turkish-Balkan peace negoti?
ations, which is regarded by diplo?
mats as largely one of pretense on
Turkey's part to avoid the appear?
ance of yielding to th" demands of the
allies without pressure from the pow?
ers, is over now.
It is expected that the second stage
grill begin soon with the powers acting
behind the scenes and pulling the
strings which will compel Turkey M
coiiced- the bulk of the allies' de
m .i.ds Without money, her army in?
adequate and demoralized, her staj.es
m- n realize that Turkey Is In no con?
dition to resume hostilities.
At to-day's sitting of the conference
Turkey renounced in favor of the al?
lies her rights in the island of Crete,
and promised further rectification of
tka Thracean frontier, but insisted
upon the retention of Adrianople. Ths
ailies declared this was not satisfac?
tory, and suspended the conference.

That does not mean a rupture of the

generally- .-\pe. ted that the work of

Prisoners, With All Women,
Will Learn New Trade,
Others Go on Pub?
lic Roads.
Overalls will h' made In the Vir?
ginia Penitentiary by convict labor, on
contract, for five years from May 1.
1915, replacing th? manufacture of
shoes, mw carried on by the Thacher
Shoe Company. The last n-?med con?
cern, which has been the contractor
for many years, will end its connection
with the State, and will operate a big
factory In Richmond, employing free
labor
It is understood that the contract
will he signed to-morrow afternoon by
the board of directors of the Statt* Pen?
itentiary on th ? one hand, ami the
Star Clothing Company, of St. Louts
and I>etrolt. on the other hand. This
concern is the highest h! :<icr. offering
a figure slightly in excess of SfO cents
per day for the 5"0 men and the wo?
men who will be employed on contract
after May L
Income Vot fteduced.
This will mean, when figured out,
just about double the sum now received
from the Thacher Shoe Company. In
other words, the 500 men who will
work for the Star Clothing Company,
will bring in an Income of about the
same figure as that earne-i by the 1.000
men employed in the shoe shops at
present. The old contract with the
Thacher company required the payment
of only III cents per day for men and
^8 cents for women. .
Members of the board have evident?
ly taken a last laugh on some of tnelr
i critics. Sundry shoe manufacturers,
breathing out threatening*, and slaugh?
ter, have proposed injunction proceea
ings to prevent the consummation ot
any contract for the prison labor. At?
torneys are working on leajai papers
to stop an extension of agreement with
the Thacher sh jo Company, under the
Impression that the board desires to
renew that contract.
Thacher In Lowest.
All this time the informed have
known that the Thacher Mtee Company?
's th- lowest bidder, and has had at
no time a ghost of a chance to get
the contract for convict labor. The
bid it turned in is taken as evidence
that it did not expect anything from
the board, since it involved a figure
ao low that it was not considered for
an instant.
So the labor of the protestants has
j gone for naught. It is not unlikely.
' however, that some efforts will be
made to attack the agreement, which.
I will be signed in this city to-morrow,
on what ground it can be assailed, ts
? not known.
I L'nder the convict road force law.
; as amended by the Legislature at its
j last session, all male prisoners in the
, penitentiary, after May I, 1913. are to
j be subject to work on the highways
of the Commonwealth. But such long
: term and desperate men as the super
! inteiident shall deem unsafe to be ao
j employed, together with the women
! prisoners, may be employed on a c?n
i tract in the penitentiary for not ex
i ceeding five years. All tasks for the
[ prisoners are to be fixed by the super
1 lntendent.
It is stated that the Thacher Shoe
. Company will hereafter watch a.l dis?
charges from the prison, incljdlnir
those whose terras have expired, those
pardoned and those paroled, and offer
them work 'n the new shoe factory It
is building here. It will thus have
first call on shoe workmen, many of
whom have reached the proportions of
skilled men.
